"Huh?" Jiang Si exclaimed, looking at her cheap husband by the light of the fire she had lit. She had to admit, her cheap husband was really handsome, with broad shoulders and a narrow waist. It was as if everything below his neck was legs, and his legs were two meters long.

His face was covered in camouflage paint, which added to his wild and rugged look. His eyelids were now slightly lowered, making it impossible to see his gaze or what was in his eyes.

"Your Highness, what are you testing me for?" Jiang Si steadied herself, turning the tables and becoming assertive: "So what if I've been hiding my strength? There's no law in the Empire that says a capable person has to be known by everyone."

"Besides, it's normal for someone like me, who has no power or influence, to hide my strength. But Your Highness, how did you know that your subordinates told me about Little Bug? Are you spying on me, or on your subordinates?"

Agares raised an eyelid, his dark eyes as deep as the night, his tone calm and serious, saying, "Just a guess. Miss A-Jiang always surprises us, much like the cunning big-eared fox in the desert of Col!"

"And my careless subordinates will think you're a family member of the Hunting Legion and tell you some non-secret secrets that don't violate military regulations or laws."

She was terrified.

She thought he had exposed her as his wife's secret identity.

It turns out that he relied on logic and his subordinates' understanding to make inferences.

Thumbs up for the intelligence of this straight man.

Let's light a candle for the emotional intelligence of this straight man!

"Indeed, I was a little gossipy, just a little bit." Jiang Si raised her hand and pinched her fingertips to show her, saying with a hint of playfulness and relaxation, "Your subordinates were talking about your heroic deeds, and I was so excited listening to them that I happened to run into He Yan on my way west."

"I figured I had nothing better to do, so I thought I'd see how my mutated fire-type ability would fare, and that's how I ended up fighting him. Who knew he... well, let's just say he's a bit of a handful."

"I'm weak and can't take a beating at all, but don't be fooled by my appearance. In fact, my mental strength and genes are extremely unstable."

Agares tugged at the black chain in his hand, pulling He Yan, who was kneeling on the ground, to her feet. His gaze swept over her from head to toe once more. "Is that so? You're a healer!"

His implication was that she was a plant-based healer, and that her claims of genetic collapse and unstable mental energy were unconvincing.

Jiang Si grinned, her dark eyes gleaming, her face completely open and honest, lying without batting an eye as she said, "As the old saying goes, a doctor cannot heal himself. Even as a healer, I cannot heal myself."

"I can only say that I'm a little better off than others; the pain after the breakdown wasn't as intense. You have no idea, cutting off this little bug's tail took up most of my energy. I need to find a place to get a good night's sleep..."

"It hurts, little cutie." Barefoot and with bloodied legs, He Yan's eyes, which had been filled with malice, vanished. His golden pupils, no longer vertical, were now teary-eyed, and he interrupted Jiang Si with a pitiful, aggrieved, choked voice: "My feet hurt, my legs hurt, I want a hug!"

Jiang Si glanced sideways and raised her hand: "No hug? How about a slap?"

He Yan pouted, his little face covered in sweat, looking utterly aggrieved: "You just hit me, my face is still swollen, look!"

"I'm blind, I can't see!" Jiang Si, looking exactly like a scumbag woman who had gotten out of bed and put on a dress, walked to Mei Yeliu, who was hanging up by her, grabbed her hand with the personal terminal, tapped her personal terminal, and helped her exit the military training. She then said to Agares, "Your Highness, please inform General Bo Jichen that he seems to have been bewitched by the Zerg."

Agares nodded: "Okay."

"Alright, I'm going to find a place to sleep. See you later." After hearing his agreement, Jiang Si turned around and left, waving as she spoke.

After walking briskly for about 10 minutes, the deputy generals of the hunting legion and Wei Chi caught up with them.

Wei Chi ran over, panting, and put his hand on Jiang Si's shoulder: "You scumbag, how did you run so fast? If it weren't for the flames you left behind, none of us would have been able to catch up with you."

Jiang Si casually patted the hand that was on her shoulder and whispered to Wei Chi, "This is all for your grand and ambitious goals. I was thinking that if Your Highness fights with the Zerg Crown Prince, I'll take advantage of the situation and let you win."

"But I didn't expect Your Highness to be so capable, having already captured the Zerg Crown Prince."

Upon hearing that his idol had captured the Zerg Crown Prince, Wei Chi was completely unaware that his breathing had eased after Jiang Si patted him: "Where? Where? Where is my idol?"

Jiang Si casually pointed ahead: "It's over there, go and take a look!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Wei Chi ran off in a flash.

"Someone has killed the Zerg Crown Prince, and my little prince has put chains on him." Bo Jichen looked at the information on the personal terminal with surprise: "I thought that to capture the Zerg Crown Prince, at least tens of thousands of lives would have to be lost."

Yan Qi exclaimed, "Really? Who has the ability to take down the Zerg Crown Prince?"

Bo Jichen lowered his hands, gazing at the endless mountain range and the dark, deep forest: "I don't know who it is. My little prince is hiding it from me and hasn't told me who it is."

Yan Qi was puzzled: "Why didn't I tell you that such a person exists? Recruiting him into the Hunting Legion or His Majesty's personal guard would be an invaluable asset."

Bo Jichen paused for a moment, his purple eyes flashing with a deep and intense light: "His Highness must have his own reasons for keeping this a secret. Let's just wait and see."

Yan Qi's eyes darted around, and he asked with great interest, "Do you think the person who could defeat the Zerg Crown Prince might be Jiang Si?"

Bo Jichen's purple eyes narrowed: "Yan Daqi, didn't you say before that she was a useless person without spiritual power? Did I remember wrong?"

The deathly gaze before him sent chills down Yan Qi's spine. He forced a dry laugh and awkwardly changed the subject: "Did I say that? I don't remember. By the way, did His Highness send you a message asking you to go and pick up the Zerg Crown Prince?"

Bo Jichen stood with his hands behind his back, his body as upright as a pine tree, exuding nobility. He parted his thin lips slightly and asked, "The insectoid crown prince has already been captured. Let him stay in my little prince's hands for a little longer. It's a good opportunity for my little prince and his little wife to cultivate their relationship. Isn't that appealing?"

Yan Qi: "..."

It smells so good, it's intoxicating.

It's a pity that His Highness doesn't know that Jiang Si is his Princess Consort.

Jiang Si didn't seem to have any intention of telling him.

This way, feelings can be cultivated, and His Highness will definitely think I'm having an affair!

He left with nothing and confessed his guilt.
